In August 2024, Austria joined the ranks of nations embracing the e-CMR, marking a significant step towards the full digitalization of international road transport. Following Italy, which adopted the system earlier this year, Austria has now committed to phasing out paper documents in favor of a fully digital system. This transition from paper to digital shipping notes is expected to significantly enhance the efficiency and security of freight transport within Austria and its neighboring countries. The shift will reduce administrative costs, eliminate billing and administrative delays, and minimize discrepancies at delivery sites.
